Inajda has been working deep undercover as a socialite, in an attempt to infiltrate a new Amanojuko experiment, entitled “The Floating Asylum,” which the Amanojuko plan to use to cleanse the human population of any resistance. She has managed to get herself a pass, and using one of Katherine’s blood shields, she waits at the security desk ready to board the ship.

Gianti Dincrind is a research scientist, from a wealthy family, and has been exposed to the forthcoming agenda to create a new world order. She has waited her turn amongst other socialites, and is now sitting in front of the great man himself. Lord Filius Anderson. Lord Anderson is in charge of hand picking the new race in preparation for the Amanojuko takeover in 4006.

Katherine recovered enough to join the siblings in the morning. Her illness hits her in waves. At the moment she is able to walk, and feels better than she did the night before. Alex, Farokh and Heyem watch on as Katherine, somewhat like her old self, attempts to help their quest. CLICK HERE for next chronological story.

Helga Ritter and her team of scientists have been given a new batch of test subjects to inject with ‘Plague,’ (In an attempt to spread panic and paranoia throughout the world. In preparation for the Amanojuko takeover) Juba Apfvarzian is amongst the test subjects who have been injected, but something is not quite right about him, and Helga Ritter is unsettled. CLICK HERE for next chronological story.

Juba Apfvarzian is a 16-year-old street magician. He spends his days entertaining the locals of Mogadishu with his plethora of magic acts. It’s getting late and the sun is going down, and the last of the daylight crowds are dispersing, so he begins to walk home. CLICK HERE for next chronological story.

It took Alexand’s division just under a month to reach Australia by boat. She has been there for a week and has been administering the plague victims with their own supply of injections, as part of a trial to see how much longer Katherine’s serum adds to the lifespan of this control group. Attempting to perform her duty, Alex has found it difficult imagining Katherine at home, getting sicker. CLICK HERE for next chronological story.

Helga Ritter has been working secretly on project ‘Ghost ship’ in mid Russia, in a level deep below the earth. (Project Ghost Ship is the name for the catalyst, which is causing Katherine’s cells to break down) Thousands of human specimens from all over the world have been collected for experimentation, and brought to this complex unconscious, either to be infected with the catalyst or to be sent to one of the many Floating Asylum ships, (depending on how disposable or unwittingly useful these resistance members are.) Some of the ‘experiments’ are ordinary members of the public, chosen at random to instil fear of ‘plague’ in the general population, but others have been picked for deliberate elimination as they pose a threat to Project Amanojuko Immortalis.

What is this?

Unbound Boxes Limping Gods is the first in a series of speculative fiction manuscripts, for which I'm seeking publication. These short stories feature some of the characters in a time set before the novels.

So many stories! Where do I begin?

Go to the Story timelines tab at the top, and you can read all the stories in order of time. You'll find them gradually connecting together.

The blurb for Unbound Boxes Limping Gods

(Set in 4041, the first book begins on Christmas Island, Japan.) Alexand Merek is a woman who treasures "Bad Things," and delights in music. She has done something stupid, placing those she loves in danger. Women like her are not welcome in the ordinary world, where women who play piano and dance with wives are placed into, "The Bad Thing Box." Alexand must fight to bring her lost family back together to save them from an unimaginable fate. (If you would like to see this book published, please press the follow button. The writer gives life to a story, but the reader keeps it alive.)

This is for you Dad.

My stories and my world are dedicated to you, Dad. You died before I was old enough to know who you were. I will try to find you in my stories, to go to places far away from this world, to search for you. Maybe one day I'll know you again. Until then I'll keep writing.
I'll never forget you.
